Strawberry Ice Cream
This is one of my favourite recipes and I only make it during the strawberry season, which has recently begun in Scotland. Scottish strawberries are some of the best in the world and when they’re at their best they deserve to be turned into this delectable dessert.

Banjo Cycler
While Thibault is impressing us with his sorbet and ice cream talents, we mustn’t forget his musical skills. Here’s a video clip from our Outer Hebridean Ice Cream Adventure. Check him out. P.S. We have finished the full story of the Outer Hebridean Ice Cream Adventure.

Biscuits ‘n’ Gravy
Sorry folks, don’t let the title fool you. We haven’t made Biscuits and Gravy Ice Cream yet (though now it’s sounding like a challenge…). Really this post is to educate Europeans about one of America’s great breakfasts. Due to some accidental oversight in our effort to replace British English with American English, people here still […]

Raspberry Sorbet
Here’s the last of the four flavours we made on Blackford Hill recently. This Raspberry Sorbet was absolutely delicious – probably one of the best sorbets I’ve ever made! Thibault and Celine hoped to make a Peach and Basil Sorbet, but had no luck at finding ripe peaches. Instead they bought a few punnets of […]

Mint Ice Cream
For our Blackford Hill ice cream party we decided to make a mint ice cream to go with the chocolate gelato (or was it chocolate to go with the mint?). Anyway, we had never made it before, but thought it was worth a try. Basically, all we did was stuff a bunch of mint leaves […]

Photos from the Blackford Hill Ice Cream Social
We had a lot of fun making ice cream on the hill. Abigail Amalton and Rahul Joshi took a bunch of great photos.

Ice cream in the rain
For those of you who missed last Saturday’s “Ultimate Ice Cream Social on top of Blackford Hill”, we understand… It was raining… a lot. But it was still amazing fun. As great as this picture is, it doesn’t do the event total justice (see more photos here). We had four White Mountains cranking simultaneously, churning […]

Banoffee Ice Cream
This one is not for the faint-hearted. Literally. This is indeed the richest ice cream we have ever made. Thibault again deserves the credit for the idea, suggesting both toffee and banana for an impulsive ice cream last Sunday in Newcastle. Now, I know your mouth is watering for the full account of our Hebridean […]

The Best Pancakes
To accompany the Marzipan Ice Cream, I thought we should publish the best pancake recipe ever! I’m not talking crêpes. These are big, fluffy American-style pancakes. My mom gave me this recipe in her wonderful little book titled “Mother’s Recipes for Peter”. I’m not sure where she got it, but it is worth repeating here. […]

Coming Soon: Ice Cream in the Outer Hebrides
In less than seven hours we depart for our biggest ice cream adventure yet! Thibault and Celine and I will be taking the White Mountain to Iona tomorrow. We’ll make a nice batch of coconut and chocolate there for Celine’s birthday. Then on Saturday Dr. Big D will join us in Oban to catch the […]
